Provident Metals Prices and Products

Provident Metals partners with three major IRA custodians: GoldStar Trust Company, The Entrust Group, and American Estate & Trust LLC – all of which have sliding scale fee structures (meaning the cost of storing your metals increases as more assets are added to the account). It should be noted that there are IRA custodians out there that charge a flat rate fee instead, which is why this company could not make it to the top 20 on our list of the top IRA companies.

Always Review the Competition Before You Buy

It only takes reading a few company reviews to realize that there are a lot of complaints made against many precious metal dealers, and for good reason – people are protective over their investments, especially those that could shape their retirement. However, there are a few companies towards the top of our list that have nearly flawless track records, and some of them even charge flat rate annual storage fees for precious metals – an affordable pricing feature that only the best custodians offer. In fact, the two most important questions to ask when choosing a precious metals dealer or a custodian to store your precious metals, is whether the company has a positive reputation, and whether they charge a sliding scale fee or a flat rate fee.
